Such a simple and perfect movie.
Cinema should not be all about spending a fortune on GDI and stars.
A simple, good scenario, realistic characters and dialogs. It will take you to the atmosphere. You will feel cold and worried. It is telling the real, everyday people with good and bad inside them.
Plot summary
Yusuf and his best friend Memo are pupils at a boarding school for Kurdish boys, secluded in the mountains of Eastern Anatolia. When Memo falls mysteriously ill, Yusuf is forced to struggle through the bureaucratic obstacles put up by the school's repressive authorities to try to help his friend. But by the time the adults in charge finally understand the seriousness of Memo's condition and try to get him to the hospital, the school has been buried under a sudden, heavy snowfall. With no way out and now desperate to reach help, teachers and pupils engage in a blame game where grudges, feelings of guilt and hidden secrets emerge, as time ticks mercilessly on and threatens to run out.

A good exapmle of cinema
A portrayal of Turkey
A thorough portrayal of people of Turkey conveyed by the illness of a primary school student. The plot is well written down to the smallest details such as the cigarette brand of the state teacher. Dialogues and actions fit into the world and reflect the selfishness and irresponsibleness of people clearly.
8/10, must watch for anyone interested in Turkey.
Fixing one mistake for another
The child is trying to fix mistake made by the adult, but accidentally creates a bigger fault. I think it's the adult who should be more to blame.
Although good intentions make bad things happen, why not make things right at the beginning?
